Access Methods For Multiversion Data

Summary: Time-Split B-tree, an integrated index for versioned, timestamped DBs with non-deletion. Current data on fast erasable storage; historical data on slower media consolidated and appended to the historical store, enabling space-efficient versioning via time- and key-based splits.
